Highlights
Outing Highlights
Lakefront living with a dock slip
The Sandcastle offers direct waterfront access and includes a dock slip, so boats have a place to moor steps from the cottage. A broad living room looks out over the lake, anchoring the rental in its waterside setting.
Room to spread out and cook for the group
The cottage is furnished for group stays: three bedrooms with full‑size beds, a sofa sleeper, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and seating bar, letting you prepare meals and gather indoors when the weather shifts.
Deckside nights and live music at Tequila Gilly’s
Your yard connects directly to Tequila Gilly’s Tiki Bar; guests often find live music spilling onto the deck, making evening hours part of the cottage’s appeal.
What the day feels like
How a stay at The Sandcastle unfolds
Book a short retreat—stays range from a single night to a week—and arrive to a living room built around the lake view. Mornings can begin with coffee in the dining room or on the deck; daytime plans might include boating from your included dock slip. Evenings are informal: cook in the fully equipped kitchen or walk a few steps to Tequila Gilly’s Tiki Bar for live music that can drift straight off the deck.
